For supercapacitor electrode material, hydrous RuO 2 /carbon black nanocomposites were prepared by the novel incipient wetness method using a fumed silica nanoparticle. First, hydrous RuO 2 /fumed silica/Ketjen black (KB) was synthesized by the sol-gel-based method. After dissolving the fumed silica, the hydrous RuO 2 /KB nanocomposite, which is composed of RuO 2 nanoparticles (20-60 nm) dispersed on the high-surface-area KB (1180 m 2 g - 1 ), was formed with 3D porous structure at high loading of 60 wt % RuO 2 (Ru content is 46 wt %). The hydrous RuO 2 /KB nanocomposite electrode exhibited a specific capacitance of 647 F g - 1 with high charge utilization of RuO 2 (72%). which is significantly higher than reported values by other workers at similar loading of RuO 2 . The high capacitance and the high charge utilization were probably due to enhanced proton paths within the 3D porous structure of the nanocomposite materials.
